Wedding Etiquette Expert Takes Dim View Of Star Jones

RALEIGH, N.C. (Wireless Flash - FlashNews)  A wedding etiquette expert
in Raleigh, North Carolina, is taking a dim view of how Star
Jones planned her wedding  and says its part of a
disturbing trend.

Jeanne Hamilton says The View co-host set a dangerous
precedent at her recent wedding by having the event sponsored by
various vendors instead of paying for it.

Now, average people are having sponsored weddings
where businesses donate their services in exchange for having
their logos on display at the reception and their ads in the
wedding program.

Hamilton considers a sponsored wedding to be the height of
tackiness but says she gets reports of at least two a year
so someones agreeing to it.

Sponsorship isnt the only wedding faux pas
that is on the rise. Hamilton says many couples are sending
ungrateful thank-you notes to their guests that imply Your
gift didnt cover the cost we spent on your dinner and
drinks. Can you send another hundred bucks?

Hamilton dishes on other wedding no-nos in a new book,
Wedding Etiquette Hell: The Brides Bible To Avoiding
Everlasting Damnation (Thomas Dunne Books).
